We are healing from the trauma of a global pandemic, the
@NYCMayor
&
@NYCCouncil

We are at City Hall Park to hold @NYCMayor & City Council accountable to funding our demands. Students deserve a budget that centers equity and prioritizes students who have been historically marginalized & neglected

TY @MarkTreyger718, @Dromm25 & @NYCSpeakerCoJo for fighting for Community Schools. Despite all our victories, 52 schools are seeing painful cuts. We know you’ll continue to fight to right this wrong! bit.ly/3gYerSA #SAVECommunitySchools @NYCMayor @DOEChancellor

Thank you @reemadamin for capturing the voices of @CoalitionforCo2 members on both the increases and cuts to CommunitySchools contracts as we prepare to welcome students back in the Fall.
New: A shift in how the city is funding its community schools program has boosted money for lots of school sites. But it has also cut $$ for many other sites, resulting in layoffs and fewer services for students — all ahead of a consequential school year.

Nearly 30 education justice organizations sent a letter to @NYCSpeakerCoJo and the @NYCCouncil calling on them to fully fund restorative justice in our schools and to not hire 554 new school cops. It's time to invest in systems of care. #NoNewSchoolCops #PoliceFreeSchools

Thread on the SHSAT:
5,879 AAPI students took the SHSAT this year and did NOT receive an offer. Many of them put 100s of hours + $1000s into a process that didn't pay off.
The SHSAT is bad for all groups. Yesterday's @TeensTakeCharge rally made that abundantly clear. (1/4)

A6: We stand with youth, parents, teachers and community members calling for more funding for students in the city budget, including mental health supports, social workers, and restorative justice #PoliceFreeSchools @UYC_YouthPower
Organizing For Equity, NY retweeted
A5: @UYC_YouthPower the $450 million for school policing must be reinvested in direct mental health and social emotional supports for students in schools so our students feel safe and supported, not criminalized. #PoliceFreeSchools
Organizing For Equity, NY retweeted
A5: Cops don’t belong in our schools.
NYC spends hundreds of millions on school police — money that could be used on guidance counselors, school nurses, and other resources that make students feel safe and supported. We need #PoliceFreeSchools

Today is a historic day; the NYS legislator has finally agreed to phase in the FULL Foundation Aid owed to NY's schools! We are incredibly thankful for every parent, student, advocate & legislator that fought along side us to ensure students right to a quality education!
